I lived most of my life in Korea, but several years ago, I visited Germany without any company. I once left my phone in one of the toilets in a large train station. Luckily, a young man found that and returned it to me. There were several other occasions that I left my stuff but locals were kind enough to give it back to me even after several hours. Of course I might be just lucky, but I think we all are good and kind people, and want to believe that we Koreans are not that special. Someday we may be able to walk any corner of the Earth and still fully trust any stranger we meet.

The big focus on appearance obviously has good sides and bad sides, but one aspect I absolutely love about it is all the amazing Korean skincare! They really care about the ingredients and formula being good for the skin. A lot of k-beauty products don't really include denatured alcohol, sulfates, parabens, silicones and unnecessary fragrance like a lot of western brands do (not all of them of course). Most of my skincare products are Korean and it feels like a dream to use them!

@@Lina-sk It is important to know that Korean culture is different from the West and not multicultural. You have to admit that the culture here is different from yours. Almost all foreigners don't even keep this basic fact. I have only seen one foreigner who truly understands Korea in all my life. So I recommend foreigners not to come to Korea. This is unfortunate for both sides. The culture here is so different that you'll never accept it. And foreigners, don't say wrong prejudices about Korea. For example, suicide rates or plastic surgery are not true. Koreans don't like foreigners because of all these misunderstandings

@@Lina-sk You foreigners never try to understand Korean culture nor accept that it is different. Why do we have to be like yours? Why is our way and culture wrong? Why should we abandon our ways and our culture? Is it so hard to understand that mono-ethnic countries like Korea and Japan can be different? Why do foreigners hide their shortcomings and only highlight Korea's shortcomings? It is not Koreans but foreigners who cause problems here. I have never heard the news that a foreigner was attacked in Korea, but I have heard the news that a Korean was attacked in a foreign country thousands more times. Korea is rather too generous to foreigners. Do you think we don't know that you foreigners always ignore, gossip, and antagonize Korea with wrong prejudice? Don't bother us, just get out of here

It's only normal to be different. My point was that this girl makes it look like Korea is extremely safe and open to foreigners... but that's not the truth. I'm speaking from my personal experience. Also you are Korean so you already know how many problems this country has with crimes but you are too blinded by hatred for foreigners to accept that my point is valid.

As a Korean born American living half of my life in Korea and other half in the States, this is really interesting and pretty accurate! Born and raised in Korea and moving to America has broaden my eyes very much. I can tell you with confidence that if I were kept living in Korea I would have been more conservative and introverted. One thing I didnt like about living in Korea was that there was no much of individual characteristics. People all wear what others wear and do whatever others do. But coming here in the States I learned more about myself, what I like and what I really want. As you said I would not say its either good or bad thing but I do think that its definitely good for you experience both and find the balance.

I live in England and used to live in Korea, and the biggest misconception I've found amongst people in England about Korea, is they seem to think Korea is a hot country. When in reality, it's only hot during summer. No joke, when I told people in England that Korea has harsh winters far colder than England, 100% of the people I've told this to have reacted with surprise. It isn't uncommon to see temperatures below -10C in korea in winter. I've experienced days when it is -18C (0F) in Seoul, so it amuses me when people assume Korea is some year-round hot country like Thailand.

Im Korean living in the west and thats sth i really miss as well, the sense of community, respect and companionship for others. In korea, kids as young as 6 go out by themselves to school or playground etc... cuz we don't teach the kids the idea of strangers danger, instead teach them to ask for help from any random adults if needed. Parents also have a faith in the society and others that if my child is in difficulties, people will voluntarily help them out. Thats a sense of trust shared in the society, dont get me wrong that there are many social issues in korea too and koreans are very critical of social problems and injustice.

I'm super nervous but so excited to explore this new culture, thanks for giving me an insight into what it might be like (although Chinese and South Korean culture are still very different)!!

About using two hands to hand over or receive sth, it originated from long time ago when people wore 한복. 한복 is the traditional clothing of korea and generally has long and flappy sleeves and it would easily make a person clumsy in situations like sitting at a table reaching for things knocking over whatever is on the table. So, people had to take the other hand to neatly grasp the sagging sleave to avoid situations like mentioned and the action itself became a sign of a manner that shows the person is being respectful and cautious. Now even tho we don't wear 한복, koreans keep that tradition as a sign of respect to elders or others. :)
